Summer Project

Thursday, April 23, 2009

Alongside all the reading and gardening I'm hoping to do this summer, I've been looking for a knitting project. Preferrably a sweater. For myself...since I STILL haven't made myself anything. For a number of months I've been contemplating trying to make this sweater but I really want someone to knit with. There's a Stitch'n'Bitch group here in Edmonton but I'm not too keen on joining up with a bunch of die-hard knitter types. Ah, why can't philosopher / writer / knitter / zombie fighter / mant-watcher, Heather, live in Edmonton? Sheesh. I have one friend here in E-town who knits so I might see if she wants to get together once every week or so and knit one of her own along with me. Given how busy she usually is though ... I might be one lonely knitter.

Wow that sweater pattern is so cute! Makes me want to amp up my very limited knitting abilities. I keep telling myself I'll join in on a nearby Stitch 'n Bitch that meets at a coffee shop each Wednesday, but haven't done it yet. Maybe you've inspired me to give it a whirl next week.

WC, that's true. I'm sure they'd have a lot to offer but I'm not a big fan of crowds. I'd rather sit with two or three folks and be able to carry on a conversation.

Pokecheck: why not give it a go? Although you might want to wait until the playoffs are over :)

SP: I'm mostly self taught as well. Heather's been a great help when I've had questions and has some great "how to" videos on her blog but most of it has come from surfing hte net and looking in knitting books. And just cause you're a province away doesn't mean you can't knit along with me...! Perhaps we should have a "Knit-along". What do you say?

Milla: Isn't that a great colour? I think it would great with a plain white fitted tee underneath. I'm going to see if I can find something similar.
